"The Nebraska School Activities Association on Monday adopted a policy that requires transgender students to obtain special permission to participate in the team sports and other school activities that correspond with their gender identity.

The vote was 6-2 in favor of the new policy, which takes effect immediately at public schools throughout the state, according to local news station KETV."
